    Summary

    In 1998, 72.5 million passengers passed through Chicago O'Hare International Airport.

    One of them was Steve Harrington. In fact, a lot of them were Steve Harrington. Every Friday, just like clockwork, he strides off flight 303 from JFK to ORD, in his suit and tie, phone plastered to his ear.

    Somewhere else in Chicago, Eddie Munson's life is pretty good. He lives with his best friend. He works nights at a bar he loves. No, it's not what he'd imagined his life was gonna be like at thirty-two, because Steve isn't here, and there was a time he couldn't ever imagine living his life without him.

    But he has, and it's fine, everything's fine. Honest.

    He's accepted it. Fortunately, the universe, and Gareth, have not.

    After a chance sighting in that busy airport, Eddie has the chance to try and reconnect with Steve after nearly a decade apart.

    Summary

    The first thing to go is the wallpaper.

    The walls are the same as they were when Barbara got taken, that same white and blue checkered pattern he’s followed with his eyes for endless hours after every stint in the Upside Down, after Billy Hargrove and the pack of demodogs and the terrifying nightmare of the underground russian base, and Steve can’t stop himself from shivering in his sweat-soaked pyjamas, tossing the covers to the side as he rolls off the bed. He can feel his heartbeat in his throat, and his vision is blurry around the edges, skin stretched tight over whatever the fuck is brewing inside his body.

    His gaze snags on the edge of the wallpaper, the little corner that is folding up under the light switch and Steve—he rips it off. Claws at it with the type of blind fury he’s grown intimate with.

    This is what he’s good at.

    OR: Steve inherits a house that has never felt like a home. He starts fixing what’s broken, finds help in unlikely places, and somewhere between paint cans and late-night talks, he learns what it means to build something that lasts.

    Summary

    Steve feels like a child on the playground trying to make friends and it’s somehow excruciatingly difficult, but he’s too stubborn to give up. Despite his own embarrassment and the voice in his head whispering he wants nothing to do with you, leave already, Steve keeps pressing. Because he’s stubborn. And prideful. And so lonely that he’d rather talk to someone out here under Hawkins' night sky than stand along the wall inside for another minute.

    “What’s your name?” Steve tries, voice light and hopeful.

    “Like you care,” the mysterious Myers replies. Unlike Steve’s kind tone, this masked stranger speaks low and monotone, showing clear disinterest.
